Development of the Brigetio Heritage Visitor Center

The Brigetio Heritage Visitor Center was built in 1907 as the main building of the Hungarian Royal State Horse-Stable Department in Komárom. It served as the central building of the Komárom State Farm from 1962, later the Komárom Agricultural Combine until 2004.
The empty building was purchased by the Municipality in 2011 and it started to be converted into a museum in 2016.
The renovation plans were drawn up by Bricoll Engineering Ltd., the building was renovated by WF Construction Ltd, both companies are established in Komárom.
The offices and some of the exhibitions of the Klapka György Museum of Komárom moved to the new building in 2023, which was named the Brigetio Heritage Visitor Center.
